Ok I am writing a program that is plugin based, the application checks for plugins and then adds a tab to the main tabcontrol for each plugin, the plugins then also load there own interfaces, and each has its on options form witch is in the plugin, so i got the plugins loading ok and adding all the controls to the main form, but i cant figure out how to make the plugin control the button clicks and what not, ive looked at a few articles on the net but still cant get it workin
thanks

I think the best way to do it is to write your button1_click event so that it calls an function that can be overridden. Then have each of your plugins override that function...
On second thoughts, it might be better to have your main program search through plugins until it finds one that has a function that can replace the button1_click event, then calls that event... Hmm... this isn't an easy question...
If your plugins add controls based on the plugin, you could activate the relevant control somehow I'm sure... I don't know anymore without an idea of the code you're using to get the rest working...
ok thanks, i got it now, but i have a new question, i am trying to add a control array of 26 linklabels to the tab on the plugin, but it will not let me declare them withevents so i can put them on but how do i control their click events, i really dont want to declare each one seperatly and edit them all seperatly. they will all do the same thing so i only need one click event
